Votes Restored, But Some Florida Delegates Miss Call

Denver, CO - Some of Florida's delegates didn't see their votes count, after all.

Florida Democratic Party chair Karen Thurman first announced on the convention floor that her state cast 136 of its votes for Barack Obama, 51 for Hillary Clinton, with one abstention.

As it turns out, the Florida vote was actually 135 for Obama and 59 for Clinton.

Thurman incorrectly reported the one abstention. Seems that several members of the Florida delegation could not make it to the floor in time to vote.

And one delegate could not vote because his credential was stolen.
